Can You Vote More Than Once If You're Wearing A Burka?

It's funny how you all say that, when the real reason is its rare I post a piece that I cant win; isn't already won upon initial posting. But if it
helps you sleep better, by all means tell yourself its because I'm just so wrong it sin't even worth clicking on it. Feed your
addiction to self-deception.

there are many women living in america that you will never see wearing anything but dresses, they don't believe it's right to wear men's clothing...
so, should we ban dresses and free them from this oppression?

we all should be allowed to wear what we desire, within sensible limits, if some wish to put restrictions on their choices because of religious
beliefs, they are free to do so... we should all be happy that we live in a country where it is us who are free to choose, and it's not dictated to
us one way or another.. to freely choose to accept the restrictions your religious belief places on you is far different than having that decision
forced on you and the freedom to choose to do this shouldn't be removed by our gov't. I can respect a muslim western women who choose to accept hajib
while totally rejecting those countries that have chosen to force it onto their women and by doing so removing the choice involved. I believe it is
the choosing that is of primarily importance spiritually..
all that being said, there are instances where being able to identify people is necessary, in which case, burkas shouldn't be allowed in those
instances.

well, I don't think it would be considered racist if they were to make the ids free of charge and easily obtainable in the poor neighborhoods...
heck make the social service office on of the providers of these free ids..

And you guys wonder why people say "liberal pretzel logic". That's one of the most accurate terms I can think of. You guys weren't so out there
before, but with this dogmatic PC garbage you guys make less and less sense the more it all adds up, and especially with PC there's sooooo much more
to add up than any other philosophy whatever than I can even think of, well outside of the entire contents of a religious text se the quran.

Here's reality: Islam ala Sharia Law is so totally from a time capsule from so far back it might as well be called stone age for all intensive
purposes. Loving Allah, and specifics like their praying rituals, fine whatever why should anyone care about that stuff?

But when it comes to cultural/political restrictions/etc from such a thing, when it's completely backwards and outright OPPRESSIVE, people of the
modern world SHOULD shame stuff such as:
-Forcing women to cover their faces (be robbed of their Freedom of Facial Expression).
-Honor killings / beatings / etc.
-Killing / etc people for being gay / feeble minded / secular / etc.
-All that sick shia'ite about marrying / consummating mutilating women / children / etc.
-Etc (the full list of Sharia barbarism is way beyond the scope here).

And yet post a dicey article on any little micro-subject subject and liberals will come running in mosh pit style to defend the oppressive
rape/whatever culture.

And in doing so you're protecting them yes... but not their 'religious rights', you're protecting them from having to grow up, to reform like
Christianity had to, you're protecting those who wholesale brutally oppress their own. The scale of it is so beyond an individual humans comprehension
that your head would literally explode right now if you could possibly see all at once all of the oppression happening right this very moment. And you
want to protect it.

If society didn't tolerate it sure they'll kick and scream bt eventually the 20th Century will catch up to them. Since they're kicking and screaming
and blowing shia'ite up anyways, might at least keep constant pressure on them to quit abusing half a billion women around the world.

In practice, PC is the most backwards doctrine since Sharia Law. You all should be completely ashamed of yourselves. Go put a lampshade on your own
heads and wear that around for a week and come back and tell everyone how girls raised from infancy to be 2nd rate burka wearers are just expressing
their religious "freedom" by doing the walk of shame every single time they leave the house every single eff'ing place they go.

just can't figure out where you get from what I posted I am for forcing anyone to do much of anything outside of respecting each other.

-Forcing women to cover their faces (be robbed of their Freedom of Facial Expression).

didn't say anything in the post your responded to about women covering their faces... I did mention hajib... maybe you should make sure what that
is?? I likened hajib to christian women who have chosen to believe that it's a sin for women to wear pants, of which, I know there are some... it's
their choice.. it's not hurting you or anyone else, it's not infringing on anyone's abilility to identify them if it's needed. and to be honest, it
seems to be that the though shalt not wear pants is far more oppressive than hajib since there are many things you really can't do in a dress!

burkas are even more oppressive but to be honest, one of the reasons I really don't worry about them too much is that I believe that the immigrants
once they've been in the US long enough to feel secure, will throw them out on their own.
that is how reformation occurs, individuals deciding for themselves... not forced to conform to someone else's ideas. we're giving them the freedom
to decide for themselves.

I think the hijab is the same ilk, but I havent even been on that trip herein.

These devices where they're mandated to cover their faces is the very definition of dystopia for every single individual indoctrinated into such. And
the hijab logic is where it flows from, of course. I've seen in my little big city on numerous occasions the full black body and face coverings.
Scorching hot here in central Florida, peak summer, everyone else wearing light thin cool shaded clothes, and there's these poor souls walking around
in full sun just frying under there. They have to be, even though they don't need to be. I could take you up to that general area right now and we'd
probably spot some within half an hour. And this is FLorida, not Dearborn Michigan.

Oh, but PC says that's their religious "freedom" to be indoctrinated into that, and anyone who criticizes it is an intolerant racist sexist homophobe
whatever. The reality is the "freedom" is the real life bonafide patriarchy that Sharia whatever is, the freedom of that scheme to indoctrinate all of
their women into that kind of oppression. And if you ask me, now we're getting to the real underlying scheme at play with the fountainheads of PC, as
their scheme is to social engineer (systematically indoctrinate) our society into their dystopian vision, while to criticize the dark side of Islam is
to criticize the fundamentals of dystopian social engineering itself. There's more to it, such as crafting the society into accepting and then
identifying with authoritarianism (maybe if we're really lucky accepting pedophilia isn't part of their agenda too, but its looking less and less
favorable in that regard).

do you consider dresses as being of the same ilk, since like I said, there are many christian sects that will teach that a women should not be dressed
in pants? when I was younger, my mom never left home without a scarf on her head, she wasn't religious and I assure you my father did not force her
to wear one, and for awhile my older sister was often times wearing one, it was fashionable, and quite frankly I took a liking to them also... all
were of different forms and styles, but hey, they were all head coverings. they might not be as common now in the US, but I kind of think that there
are some parts of europe where they still are worn by older more traditional women, as well as some religious sects here in the states.

so so should all the women who are choosing to wear headscarves of the various types for whatever reason accept a restriction against them because you
don't like the fact that Islamic women in some countries are forced to wear a version of them...
were we could probably ban them all without running into freedom of religion problems, I don't believe we could ban just one version of them because
we don't like the religion that they originated from.

all that being said though, I do believe that there are circumstances where burkas should be restricted since you can't confirm a person's identity if
they are wearing one.

how so? you have to register to vote. if i showed up in stormtrooper armor and tried to vote they would tell me to please remove helmet. a burka is
not required by religion it is required by custom. its not our custom to run around in masks
we you move somewhere else you should try to a climate to there customs not try to force them to follow you.

I don't have to ask a stupid question like that because hat's aren't face masks are they.?

Who cares... do you have NO sense of humor or ever have ANY fun?? You ever just screw with your Dr just to see the look on his face? I do. Too bad you
dont.. but him being your therapist, he MIGHT be able to dislodge that pole from your arse. Youll feel much better when you arent so uptight.
Dont take the dare you damned chicken.
